I did not find a public pricing page on Bastion Elevate's own site via accessible search results; pricing appears to be quote-based. The clearest published figures come from third-party directories: Clutch summarizes verified client reviews as reporting $5,500-$10,000 monthly, while multiple directory profiles list a $5,000+ minimum project size and hourly bands of either $150-$199/hr or $200-$300/hr. Those directory numbers are marketplace estimates/aggregations, not a formal rate card published by Bastion Elevate itself.

Process

How Bastion Elevate actually works, reconstructed from customer reviews and third-party write-ups.

Bastion Elevate engagements appear to start with an intake/onboarding phase where the client shares brand voice, assets, goals, and audience context, followed by collaborative strategy setting and then hands-on execution across PR, social, content, video, influencer, and digital channels. Delivery is recurring and approval-driven: clients describe regular calls, review of drafts/assets before launch, active communication during execution, and reporting on placements/analytics after work goes live.

  1. 1

    Share brand context and onboard the team

    Clients first spend time educating Bastion Elevate on company culture, industry, audience, brand voice, and available materials such as photos, videos, and internal resources. In some PR engagements, clients specifically describe onboarding sessions with executives to align on messaging before outreach begins.

  2. 2

    Set goals and build the campaign strategy

    After intake, Bastion Elevate works with the client to define what the campaign should accomplish and what themes or deliverables to prioritize. Reviews describe monthly strategy calls, agreeing on unified messages, and planning tactics such as media targets, landing pages, social calendars, influencer lists, or launch announcements.

  3. 3

    Develop the core assets and messaging

    Bastion Elevate then creates or refines the working materials for the campaign, including press releases, thought-leadership pieces, ad copy, graphics, videos, social assets, and landing-page direction. Clients mention collaborating on scripts, concepts, images, and copy while Bastion Elevate handles production and shapes the tone for the intended audience.

  4. 4

    Review and approve deliverables before launch

    Before publishing or pitching, clients review assets and provide feedback, and Bastion Elevate adjusts based on comments. Reviewers specifically mention back-and-forth review on social assets prior to going live and Bastion Elevate being flexible during the review process and timelines.

  5. 5

    Execute outreach and publish across channels

    Once approved, Bastion Elevate carries out the work: pitching media, securing interviews and placements, coordinating influencer campaigns, scheduling social posts, running paid social/video distribution, and supporting trade shows or speaking opportunities where relevant. The exact channel mix varies by engagement, but clients consistently describe Bastion Elevate as owning execution after strategy is set.

  6. 6

    Stay in close contact during active delivery

    During execution, communication remains frequent through calls, email, text, Slack, Teams, and meetings. Clients describe having a main point of contact, regular meetings ranging from monthly planning calls to twice-weekly check-ins, and fast responses while campaigns are in motion.

  7. 7

    Report results and refine the next cycle

    After launch, Bastion Elevate reports on outcomes such as media placements, analytics, and campaign performance, and uses those results to plan the next round of work. Clients mention monthly reports, analytics from tools like Sprout Social, and ROI reports prepared for executives, suggesting an ongoing optimize-and-repeat rhythm rather than a one-off handoff.

Reviews

Bastion Elevate appears to have a clearly identifiable third-party review presence on Clutch, where it is listed under the parent/brand profile "Bastion Agency" and the visible review content repeatedly refers to Bastion Elevate. I did not find a matching profile/listing for this company on G2, Trustpilot, Google, Capterra, or BBB in search results, so its public review footprint appears limited outside Clutch.
